Here we have this amazing progressive metal band coming from Sweden. Here we have their epic keyboards, their virtuoso guitars and the extremely technical rhythm section. This, combined with Sindre Antonsen´s vocals which are very different than the ones used by the other bands of this style make a powerful recording. To give you an idea Divided Multitude is like a combination of progressive music with some heavier style such as the one played by bands like Vicious Rumours. The keyboards are all over the songs and they interact really good with the heavy guitars. One of the main things here are the melodies which are epic and dark. This is one of those recording that you listen over and over again and you always find something new, some arrangement, some lick, some pattern that you have not heard before. Thumbs up for Divided Multitude!!!!

Favorite tracks: THe whole CD. This is a masterpiece of progressive metal
